Demons in Ugly Christmas Sweaters 2023

 Not much to say, just things to look at.

Ren Faire Demons - Odru-Shaggorath Demon

I don't often do exterior shoots post Halloween, it just gets too crappy and cold. We had a bit of snow down and it wasn't too cold, so this one ended up actually happening. I had plans to shoot late in the day, into the evening so we could play around with shooting at night - but we lost track of time during the makeup process and had maybe 30 minutes to shoot outside (with a 15 minute drive included in that time).

I had other ideas I wanted to try, but we just lost the daylight so fast - and it was getting way colder as the sun went down, so we packed it in and headed back home to do some exterior lighting stuff.

The blue contact lenses really glowed in these last few shots and the dramatic lighting really looked cool. My only disappointment is in the lack of variety in the poses of the shots, we had to stick to keeping it simple to make sure what we were getting would at least be worth it.

 

Annual Halloween Photoshoot - The Eldritch Flayer

I forgot to upload all these here. This was from my most recent annual Halloween shoot, I just made this piece and it was meant to be first shown off in a D&D shoot in September, but shit weather and bad scheduling kept putting it off until the weather turned too cold, hopefully we'll be revisiting it in May/June of next year.

It was a super simple and quick shoot, I've started using Adobe's Generative Fill to add a little more interest to the background of some images since we really are limited on interesting shooting locations on PEI, especially after 15 years of doing this.

 

Ren Fair Demons - Adarra Warlock

Did a shoot last week where I made the whole costume, prosthetic, props and all. I'll be doing more shoots like this from now on, so I wont' be doing as much, but it feels a lot more satisfying that what I had been doing for the last few years.

I'm still learning to sew, but I'm pretty happy with being able to turn the dress and hood/vest pieces out in one single day, that involved dyeing the fabric, cutting it all out and assembling it, it they were all from my own versions of existing patterns, just very modified. Not perfect, but I think it turned out pretty good for someone who only started about 8 months ago.

 

 

Cagaaran Demon - Ren Faire Demon shoot.

I had a couple new pieces I needed a product shot for, so I took the time to throw together a costume for a Ren Faire Demon shoot and did a quick one afterwards. 

And since here on PEI we have no real medieval settings (I know about the Woodleigh castles, but whenever I've reached out I just get ignored, so fuck them), I used Adobe's Generative Fill to make my own.
